“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my fur baby to Briana, and I couldn’t be more impressed! From the moment we met, it was clear that Briana is passionate about animals and genuinely cares for them. She took the time to learn about my dog's unique needs and routines, ensuring a smooth and comfortable stay. Briana kept me updated with adorable photos and messages throughout the day, which made me feel at ease. It’s evident that she not only has the skills and experience but also the compassion to be an outstanding dog sitter. My dog came back happy, healthy, and tired from all the fun activities Briana provided. I can’t recommend Briana enough—if you want your pet to feel loved and cared for, she’s the one to call!”
“Jeanne was great and Calvin enjoyed his time with her. He was able to take a few car rides, lounge in her sunroom and enjoy time with family. He loves being part of the action so it was a great overnight. Our flight was a delayed a bit and she was super accommodating! Would definitely recommend to family and friends and book again.”
“Amazing first Rover experience with Jordin. Having just moved to a new place I haven’t had much time to take my dog out on long walks/exploring, but she was able to do that with him & I could tell in her communication she really cares about animals. Definitely recommend Jordin to watch your pets!”
“Santiago is an amazing person, and he takes great care of our dog, Chunky Monkey. It's one of the first times that she is not stressed when we pick her up. She might even prefer to hang out with him! :)”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my passion for personalized care and my experience with various dog breeds. I currently work at a veterinary hospital as a receptionist and I love my day being filled with many furry friends. I ensure pets develop good habits from the start, and I also provide attentive care for senior dogs, catering to their unique needs. My home offers a safe, playful environment, and I prioritize regular exercise and mental stimulation. With my flexible schedule, I can accommodate last-minute bookings, and I offer photo updates so you can see your furry friend’s adventures! I currently work during the week, but I have full availability on the weekends to accommodate your furry best friend and their needs. I’m also able to accommodate boarding during the week as we are a very pet friendly household and there’s always someone at home to ensure your pet feels comfortable and well taken care of. I have a fenced yard, and the most adorable labradoodle at home to keep your best friend company. I’m also able to provide a crate if needed, and I am able to take your pets on as many walks as their heart desires.
“Was very pleased with Marie she took good care of Sasha. Didn't have to worry about her at all cause I knew she was in good hands. Sasha was very comfortable in Marie's house. Marie was very loving with Sasha. I hope the next time we go on vacation Marie will be available.”
“Andrew was very helpful when taking care of Tyson gave tips and recommendations for my puppy. He also gave updates every day with pictures and videos of Tyson Stay. Would recommend Andrew to anyone.”
“Hannah is the best cat sitter I've ever had! I was very nervous about boarding my cat for over 3 weeks while we were away on a trip, but Hannah made it easy. She sent constant updates and photos to put my mind at ease, and clearly took amazing care of my cat. I love that my cat had her own separate space and that Hannah works from home, so she was able to spend a lot of time with my cat. My cat also came home with some new toys, which was a nice surprise. I will definitely be booking Hannah again the next time we go away. Thank you so much, Hannah!”
“Erika was great! I left my dog with her for a 5 night stay and she sent pictures every day and also gave an update on how my dog was doing. I’m very glad to have found Erika and would not hesitate to book with her again 🙂”
“Claudia and Juni (her pup) were SO awesome and went the extra mile during his stay to make Chase feel at home! From play time to hand feeding him when he didn’t want to eat to playing search games for mental stimulation. She also sent many videos and pictures which I very much appreciated!! I highly recommend her and Juni for your future dog sitting needs!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Kristen who watched out dog for 10 days. He got lots of love and went for walks and hikes. We appreciated all of the photos and updates! We know he will look forward to returning to his home away from home!”
About: I grew up with a yellow lab that I cared for throughout my childhood. I now have 2 amazing rescue labs Ellie and Bobby that get along really well with other dogs. I also volunteer with Companion Pet Rescue. I am flexible with my schedule on the weekends and will try my best to accommodate your needs. Just let me know what services you are looking for and I will confirm my availability. I have a fenced in yard which my dogs love to play in. I also take them for walks, runs, or hikes! My home is very clean and quiet. Making it a safe space for your pets that you can feel comfortable leaving them.

Brianna was excellent! She so clearly loves dogs, and Cody was very comfortable with her from the moment he met her. She put in effort to ensure that Cody was both safe throughout his stay and having a blast/getting lots of play time and walks. We would highly recommend Brianna!
Julia was an amazing sitter. My dog loved spending time with her. She sent frequent pictures and updates. She reached out immediately with any questions or concerns she had to make sure she was taking the best care of my pup. I will definitely be using her again in the future.
Shelby has been a wonderful sitter for my cat, Sage. She made her feel so comfortable she had a hard time leaving. Shelby is friendly, communicative, and shares lots of pictures. As hard as it is to leave Sage when I travel, I feel comfortable knowing she is in Shelby's care.
Sai was excellent and amazing when boarding my dog for a couple of days. Followed all instructions given and provided updates throughout the day. Since this was my first time using this app I was a bit skeptical with everyone but I gained confidence because Sai is amazing at care for our loved ones. Will definitely book again if needed, Highly recommended.
Amber was the best cat sitter and my family was pleasantly surprised at tge special care and love Amber gave our 3 months old kittens. Amber cared for them as if they were her own. She had excellent cat knowledge and experience. She sent us pictures everyday and cute remarks that made us laugh. We were comfortable and relaxed knowing our kittens were in great hands. We would highly recommend Amber to sit for any cat owner.
